@tk21769 I have! I’m only looking at colleges in the Northeast region because I’d like to stay relatively close to home so Temple is the only one that fits my needs. I think I qualify for a full tuition scholarship there, but it is much larger than what my ideal school would be so unfortunately I’m not sure if it’s right for me.
As for the 100% need met schools, I am already considering a bunch of them as potential reach/target schools. Do you think I should only consider these types of definitely-affordable schools in my search? Would considering private schools with not-so-great need based aid but large merit scholarships that I may or may not get be unwise given my limit of 7 private schools (a portion of which will be high reaches)?
